I am so excited for this episode. I hope to whatever imaginary thing in the sky if it exists that we get at least a short last season to say goodbye to these twisted, amazing, crazy characters and stories.

At least they did this two seasons earlier than wait till season six like the X-Files.

Oh man this probably the best thing I have read all day. Thank you!

I really hope Elijah doesn't really leave I really want to that comment about him turning himself into a monster explored more. I also want him and Elena to have more screen time together. Also, I like how this show doesn't just move past the fact that in order to save Elena a lot of her loved ones have had to make…

I saw this yesterday and it has to be the best pilot I have seen in years. Last time I was this excited about an NBC show was Heroes before it went batshit crazy. I agree with what Coen said, and I hope the show doesn't give us answers for at least a long while. Because really there isn't any need too, the main…

The car crash? Really that was needed? ugh seems like another useless plot thread like searching for Sophia for half of season. Last three minutes were awesome. And Shane needs to die I hope he's the actor that left when Frank D. got fired.

I thought that too. Maybe this is a way for the Originals and the Salvatores to come together against Mommy Original. Also I think it's way to convienant that she doesn't want to kill Elena anymore. She went through so much trouble in the first half of the season to trying to do it.

Easily the best episode, and next week's looks soo good.

Also a good point and if you could die at any moment by heart ripping or decapitation I guess drinking and fucking would be a good way to pass the time.

I don't think this is Nina's plan. Maybe because Olivia is still cortexiphan treated so maybe her abilities are allowing her to remember. As for Jones's who knows what he and Sharp are planning since the fact that William Bell's fate and interaction in Massive Dynamic hasn't been explained. I don't know I am just so…

I agree. This was an amazing episode if you haven't seen it.

Thats right! I completely forgot about the Bronze. Ah Buffy....those were good times.

I don't understand the disinterest in this year's stroylines either. I learned to trust the producers when they did the Olivia/Fauxlivia switch at the end of season two I was completely pissed, because it was such a trope to do. However, that first half of season three was some of the best character storytelling I…

Also I just barely noticed this after someone on my twitter feed commented on it as well, how can these TEENAGERS be buying alcohol or drinking champagne at a event full of adults. It's nit-picky I know, but hey when you can die at any second I guess underage drinking isn't a issue in Mystic Falls.

Anyone else hoping they find a way to save Elijah from the kill Klaus plan? I really love his interactions with Elena, and I am really hoping they expand on that further before they try killing all the originals.
